Todd Bowles didn’t see or hear Robby Anderson lobby for Pro Bowl votes, but he certainly wasn’t happy about it.

Shortly after the Jets wide receiver scored a 54-yard touchdown against the Panthers Sunday, his second of the game, Fox cameras found Anderson on the sidelines. With New York in the lead, the second-year pro asked fans to vote for him for the Pro Bowl.

Former NFL player Chris Spielman, who was doing color commentary for the game, immediately ripped Anderson, saying he should worry about “holding onto a lead in the fourth quarter,” instead of Pro Bowl votes. The Jets ultimately blew the lead in the final frame.

Anderson has had a few moments this year that could be interpreted as selfish, but this seemed like innocent fun. An undrafted free agent out of Temple a year ago, he was having the biggest game of his career. He finished the outing with six catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns. It was the fifth game in a row Anderson nabbed a touchdown, the longest streak in the NFL.

He got caught up in the moment.

“I was just excited,” Anderson told reporters. “I wasn’t trying to come off no bad way or nothing like that. It was just excitement, spur of the moment.

“Everybody knows I’m all for this team in every aspect. I make my life decisions based on my teammates. Everything I do is about being the best I can for my teammates… I wasn’t trying to come off no wrong way. I was just excited in the moment.”
